The purpose of having corporations here is for them to pay tax?! Ehhhh???
I think their purpose is to make a profit. As a by product of profit, they employ people.
No, the purpose of having business in America isn't to collect tax. Business doesn't pay tax anyway... business only recovers tax costs, like any other cost, by increasing prices, reducing wages, or lowering ROI.
It is the goal of business to mazimize profit- and that goal is obviously served by reducing expenses of all kinds - including tax expenses to include income tax, payroll tax, and compliance costs.
I try to take all my legal deductions when I file...why shouldn't business do the same??
The problem is the tax system. Plain and simple.
I was speaking from their point of view.
Liberals think Corprorations exist to pay taxes and provide jobs.
Conservatives understand that Corporations exist to make a profit for its owners.
